Any person who applies directly to the superintendent of public instruction for a certificate, particular endorsement, certificate renewal, or certificate reinstatement whose application is denied or any person who is notified that their certificate is suspended or revoked or that a reprimand order has been issued shall be advised that they are entitled to appeal that decision to the superintendent of public instruction if they follow the procedures established in this chapter.
The appeal procedure may not be used to seek reinstatement of a certificate if that certificate has been revoked in the preceding twelve months by the superintendent of public instruction.
The appeal procedure to the superintendent of public instruction consists of two levels, one informal and one formal. The use of the informal level is a condition precedent to use of the formal level. In addition, RCW
34.05.570 provides for judicial review of such decisions.
